EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph titled "Algiers, from the City Flags series (N6) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes Brands, 1887" takes us back to the vibrant and bustling city of Algiers in the late 19th century. The artwork, created by Allen & Ginter, showcases a picturesque view of Algiers with its stunning Mediterranean Sea backdrop. In this close-up shot, we see a colorful array of flags fluttering in the sea breeze against a clear blue sky. The red and white striped flag stands out prominently among others, symbolizing Algeria's rich heritage and identity. The presence of boats and sailing vessels adds movement to the scene as they navigate through the calm waters. The lithograph beautifully captures both the natural beauty of Algiers' beachfront and its lively atmosphere with people going about their daily activities. It provides an intriguing glimpse into life during that era - a time when trade cards were popular collectibles often found inside cigarette packs. Preserved in museums like The Met today, this print serves as a valuable historical document showcasing not only Algiers but also highlighting Allen & Ginter's artistic prowess in creating visually appealing cigarette cards. Through this artwork, viewers are transported back in time to witness the charm and allure of one of Africa's most enchanting cities.
